CITY NOTES.

CITY NOTES.
MIR. Summer G.. Chandler arrived yes
tsrday from Boston, Mass, where he
has been for several weeks on a visit.
Yesterday was somewhat cooler than
the day before, the breeze being much
stronger. The evenings continue to be
as pleasant as one would wish to have
them, when the breeze is not closed out
of the house.
Every evening parties can be seen out
on the river in sail or row boats. There
is nothing more pleasant than this pas
time. and the only wonder is that more
people do not enjoy the privileges for
pleasure afforded by our magnificent
river.
The Gem City Guards are on a regular
boom, and new members are being taken
into the organization at every meeting.
The Guards is composed of a gallant set
of young men, and we are glad to know
that the company is growing in popu-
larity.
Mr.. c. 1. Rowton yesterday presented
us with a number of very fine tomatoes
and cucumber about eighteen inches
in length. The vegetables were grown
ON Mr.. Rowton's place, near the city,
gardens in the country.
The young men of the Putnam Alert
Hose Company have handsomely fitted
up a room in the Moragne block, which
they use as headquarters. The company
is in a very fiourishing condition, and
the members take the iveliest interest in
its prosperity, as many of the boys meet
in the room every evening.
Mr.. Benz. Rodda has just opened
shoe shop on Lemon street, in Rich
mond's old stand, where he is prepared
to do all kinds of boot and shoe making,
and repair work. He will give prompt
attention to all work left with him, and
promises togive full satisfaction toSall
His prices are very reasonable.
Mr.. E. r.. Farrar, noticing a cut i'm the
PATLATKA News a day or two ago show
ing how a good cheap book or paper case
could be made tried, his hand
at it yesterday and succeeded in
making very neat little case
which sold as soon as completed for 81.
And thus it is that THE News is silently
but at all times doing good to mankind.
We hope Mr.. Farrar will find the manu-
facture of these cases profitable for
long time to come.
Sanford journal Mr.. Max Myerson
returned from New York this afternoon.
His trip did not result in the bringing
back of c. p. johnson, who was arrest
ed in that city some ten days ago ON a
telegram from Marshal Wheeler, of San
ford. Legal steps were taken which Mr..
Myerson could not overcome and John
son will return when his own sweet will
dictates. He says he will be in Sanford
in short while. We will see."
Our old friend, DIR. H. A. vogelbach.
of Melrose, was in town yesterday, and,
of course, gave us a call. He has re-
Gently assumed editorial control of the
Melrose Headlight. one of the brightest
of the Florida inland papers, and under
his intelligent control we expect it to
grow rapidly in public favor. The doc
tor promises to visit us more often in
the future, and we can assure him that
n cordial welcome is always awaiting
him.

Quarterman, his mother-in-law. Mr.

oe Ntb AteCLt- ALSO
the first span of Shetland ponies which
ever came to the coast, greatly to the
and delight of our children
who gaze at the sturdy little horses with
all the delight they would at a circus.
The pair is composed OF stallion and
mare and cost $500. The children enjoy
riding them on the smooth hard beach
and as they are extremely docile they
are great pets with ALL" The Journal
did not tell all the story, as we learn
that MIR. Dunn fairly echpsed all in that
neighborhood in securing fish. He also
found turtle nest, and secured 1856
eggs. He also caught the turtle, weigh

ne climbed ON and road into the sea. He
reports glorious good time.
